(34 posts)That makes him a very dangerous person. And I agree that what he did definitely constitutes domestic violence: destroying another person's property to silence them or enforce "authority". We would all be rightly angry if the police came in and shot our computers for criticizing the government. Why are we defending someone who basically did the same thign?
Poster #20's diagram shows that the father's behavior fits domestic violence to a T:
Using Intimidation:
-Smashing things (or shooting them) Check.
-Destroying her property Check
-Making her afraid (I am certain she was afraid after this) Check
-Displaying weapons definite check
Only thing that doesn't apply is abusing pets but you can probably bet that if the neighbor's dog walked by he would have shot him "just to show what a man he is".
Using Emotional Abuse:
All things apply here, just look at the original video.
The man is 100% a domestic abuser. In my opinion he should have been jailed!! Like I said if this was her x-boyfriend we would be furious. We shouldn't give this misogynistic old rat a pass because he's the girl's father. Abuse is abuse no matter who does it.
